The Great Alliances (Alternate History NRP)

<Snipped quote by ADamnFiddle>

Great. I'd be with any of the ones you said.
The whole UK-US dynamic would be interesting, but Italy still trying to remain Relevant without angering Germany could also be fun. All up to you though.

@RWDS

Yeah I would imagine that both dichotomies would be entertaining to say the least. I would imagine that the idea of the ethnic "rankings" would have to be changed by Hitler seeing as his primary allies are part of the third ring [The catholic Mediterraneans], but Italy's position is definitely one that would be able to accomplish a fair amount.

As for England my policy would be to basically sit on my Island and buy time for the USA to do whatever it was going to do. I would imagine it would not be feasible Germany would be able to easily invade London with the United States assisting. There might even be commonwealth revolts in former English colonies like south Africa that could be used to one's advantage.

@RWDS

I suppose I could be in. Sounds like it could be really fun.

I hold interest in playing as Italy, France, or England as possible nations to play as.

Sounds pretty chill. I'd be down to clown.

Malakaus had given his input upon the situation after Maria had given him her blessing in regards to obtaining both funding and personnel from the Iron Bell, including but not limited to herself.

As for her new recruits, Maria did understand that Malakaus was someone who preferred a more spartan approach to training perhaps, but Maria was perhaps a tad bit less demanding of people who she understood, based on how pretty their hands appeared compared to a warriors or even the average peasant, and how any muscles developed appeared to be from less traditional, work-induced trainings.

Though, if the two wished to at the least observe the duty of a knight, she would not mind having both Chieko and Ryan accompany her. After all, they would eventually become reputable knights amongst the Iron Bell. At least if they were to continue upon their goal. Maria might not be the most idealistic individual, but she did expect at the very least some sentience of competency, but It is never fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.

Perhaps it could be said that Maria and Malakaus were both meritocratic and altruistic in regards to their perception on recruitment, feeling that it should not matter about background or status to determine the worth of an individual. Though Maria did place emphasis on her family name, she understood that her family name was merely something that provided her with an advantage over others and that she should use her advantages to better those without such. However, Maria did not have tolerance for those who blamed society for their disadvantages. Philanthropy is for the betterment of others, not for bringing yourself to the level of others. It is essential to employ, trust, and reward those whose perspective, ability, and judgment are radically different from yours. It is also rare, for it requires uncommon humility, tolerance, and wisdom, which to some degree Maria aspired towards.

Perhaps Maria was not so socially brave compared to Malakaus. As she had pointed out, Elves tend not to be very reputable as a race, and to both the humans and the demibeasts, whom of which had many conflicts in the past in regards to coexistence, both races tend to agree about their dislike of those of elvish blood. Especially those who are half-elves.

Maria held no such convictions against Elves or even Half-Elves for that matter. A person should never be judged by their appearance and only on their inners, and not in the way that a certain emboweler & assassin-for-hire from the north would imagine it as. Character determined the person.

That was about when a certain guard had entered her room after knocking and making request to enter. Maria allowed the guard to enter her quarters, as she saw no reason to reject the request.

“Ma’am, there appears to be an elf claiming to be the Squire of Sir Malakaus. What do you wish me to do with her?”

It appeared that for whatever reason Malakaus’ aid and squire had appeared at the Iron Bell’s chapter as Malakaus had left the premises. Perhaps this was where they were to meet up, but Malakaus had other plans for the time being. Or perhaps there was some sort of information Maria needed to know.

“Allow her audience with me. Malakaus had explained to me that he had taken an Elf as a squire, and I trust Malakaus’ judge of character.”

“Yes ma’am.”

Though the guard had allowed one “Atisha Eluvian” entrance to Maria’s room, he seemed rather begrudgingly to allow the woman access to his commander’s room. Perhaps he was the sort not to trust elves. After all, it was a general idea that Elves were not to be trusted. The Witch was an Elf, so the natural association was that anyone who was an elf could potentially become like “that Witch”, but he tried his best to hide this expression of himself from this Elf-woman.

"Ahem. Yes, well firstly on the matter of my... Aide. Her name is Atisha Eluvian”

Maria got up from the table she sat at with Cheiko and Ryan and took a bit of a stance of authority with her hands folded behind her back and her posture overbearing and her face, like her normal actions, serious. At the very least Maria tried to have others take her seriously as a knight. She was more than just a rich family’s only daughter, dammit!.

“Ms Atisha Eluvian, I presume? If you are looking to find Sir Malakaus, he had left the headquarters not too long ago. If what you need is not urgent, I’d like to invite you to tea if you’d accept my invitation. Please forgive any mistreatments my guards have given you Ms Eluvian. I do not wish to cause a friend of Malakaus any inconvenience”

Blessing of Continued Fighting: The ability to fight at top condition regardless of injury, so long as the injury isn’t a sure kill attack. However, unchecked injuries can eventually become fatal if given enough time, but even that time is extended.

Edit: Also sorry that I have been a bit delayed with my postings. School is kinda been pressing on myself recently. But I should be able to get more room for wiggling soon enough. Start of a semester tends to be the largest workload imo.

@liferusher After reading it again, I feel dumb. It was talking about releases for blu ray and such. My bad gmail chan, sorry for getting your hopes up T.T

Forgive me gmail chan.

@Heckno12

I forgive you. For now. Dont let this happen again. I'm watching you.

I have posted! But I would not be surprised if there are problems with what I did. Unfortunately, I had kinda selected Yang as my magic and only realized after the fact that there's like 2 friggin spells that have been used in the source material. One of them, though, was finger death rays so I figured a magic concussive blast would be acceptable.

If not, merely tell me and I'll rewrite. C:

@Lunarlors34

I would be kinda scared. I would imagine it being similar to if you beat Laharl during the events of Disgaea 2.

@FamishedPants

Do remind me at some point that I need to replay based Disgaea.

Malakaus had decided to take a commoner, no less a former slave, within his current post as a squire. Maria, from her perspective in regards to what she believed Cheiko and Ryan were likely before coming to the city from basic analysis of their situation, were likely within the same boat. Of course, Maria had no knowledge to their true identities, therefore Maria’s assumptions were wrong.

Maria wasn’t the sort ot judge someone by the color of their skin or the cat ears on their head. Her father had instilled a degree of tolerance towards other cultures and heritages, despite her ignorance about most of these being quite apparent from the relative disconnect of being within the noble class of society, but Maria was not the sort to discriminate solely based on someone’s appearance.

Or she tended to try and make more rational choices based on the current situation. She knew that it was idiotic to assume that the power of those demihumans were definitely useful, as they were able to do certain things that humans could not accomplish, and vise versa. Perhaps she should add a few demihumans into her ranks? At least Malakaus seemed to believe it was a good idea.

Elves, on the other hand, were hated by the general public. It was brave for someone like Malakaus to act in such a way; to add an elf to his roster as a squire. After all, elves, especially those with fair skin and silver hair, were seen as avatars of the Devil [Satella]. But Maria didn’t care for such societal stigmas. Skills were warranted by those who possessed them, rather than who possessed them. If Malakaus believed this individual held the potential to become a knight, then god help the lot of them.

At the very least it was easier to justify taking Cheiko or Ryan as potential squires to others. But it wasn’t as if society had forgotten about those fifty some-odd years ago, and most definitely hadn’t forgotten about the Witch.

Malakaus’ bravery was something to behold. A knight that started from the rubble of society and was given chance as a knight by simple strength. Perhaps Maria could learn something from his actions. After all, Maria was skilled with the sword and as a knight only through her father’s name. The “daughter” from a hero, it was clear why Maria was more privileged than others. But Maria’s skill was still nothing to laugh at.

The name “von Hohenzollern” was known for their skilled swordsmen and knights, and Maria was no exception to this.

“If you believe she has the potential, then I will not question your judgements, Sir Malakaus. You are not someone I would consider an idiot, but know there might be enemies you would need to consider by keeping an elf close by. But if she is to be your squire, I am sure she is a wonderful person, despite your claim to her thorny exterior. You always did have an eye for these sorts of things, no?”

However, there was another concern brought up by Malakaus.

Malakaus seemed earnest in his request:

A simple quest to assist in the subjugation of demonic beasts. Any demon beasts were evil, and usually hunters in the Knights or hired mercenaries would join in the extermination in the event that there are those without the time and excess money. After all, mercenaries tended to be a bit more expendable than those of tied and true knights.

“As for offering my assistance, I cannot say that I do not wish to see whatever was causing this issue in the ground like all Demon Beasts belong. Nuisances to society with no redeeming qualities simply do not belong in our time. Even the worst criminal might one day redeem themselves; Demon Beasts were made by the Witch to cause harm and fowl to any and all in her twisted attempt to destroy the world. “

At the very least that was what Maria was taught, not truly knowing the true origin of the Demon Beasts not coming from the witch of Envy but another witch. The road to evil is paved with good intentions, after all.

But Cheiko did bring up a good point. Ryan and Cheiko were not well trained. Without proper training with a sword, which could take upwards of a few weeks to even months, they were very ill able to keep up with whatever was going to occur within the towns.

Maria didn’t wish for anything bad to occur between the two new recruits. After all, they were now individuals Maria wished to protect as her squires. Maria did have high expectations for them, but at the very least it was nice to know there were other virtuous people who desired to make a difference in the world.

“But if Ryan and Cheiko are not comfortable with joining, I cannot say I will force them to accompany us. They seem to be ignorant with the sword, which is why I promised to assist them in their trainings. It might be good training for them to accompany us after they are at least adept in their basics. I will still offer the most I can offer you, however, as a show of good faith. After all, I am a knight myself. I would be slacking my duties if I were not to assist you in any way I can. My blade is still yours if you were to need it.”
